Chapter 187 I only dare to wear it in front of my husband
No one wants to be a fool."
"My, your husband is a man who wants to be a faint king. It's great to be a faint king, but a wise king is too tiring."
Li Yue frowned and said, "How could my father achieve the Zen throne?"
When the couple returned home, Little Bear's little house was next to the vegetable field, not next to the toilet.
It's just that he never went back to live in his own nest. Instead, he preferred the utility room at home. He also liked the strong smell of sawdust in the utility room.
Zhang Yang looked at the crumbled bean dregs in the basin and realized that the production of tofu had failed again.
Regarding the brine issue, salt brine is still difficult to make.
We have to make the brine again and waste a lot of time.
Zhang Yang took out the tofu inside. The tofu that did not fail looked a bit like bean curd and chewed tofu brains.
You can drink it as tofu pudding.
The little bear sniffed the bowl of bean curd, and then he ate the whole bowl of bean curd.
This little guy is really not picky about food.
Zhang Yang grabbed the back of its neck and picked it up. The little bear stuck out his tongue and licked his mouth, looking like he still had something to say.
"Daughter-in-law, why does our bear look more and more like a dog?" Zhang Yang looked puzzled.
Li Yue covered her mouth and smiled softly.
He threw the little bear aside casually. It rolled on the ground several times, chasing Zhang Yang's heels and waving its paws, as if protesting against throwing it away so casually.
This bear is becoming more and more able to eat. He eats a large bowl every day. He goes to sleep after eating and eats when he wakes up.
I would say it's like a dog, but it's also a bit like a pig. It's becoming more and more edible.
The entire yard is its territory, and only Li Yue's garden is its forbidden area. The last time it caused harm to the peonies in the yard, Li Yue scolded it and starved it twice.
The garden is fenced so that it can no longer harm the peonies.
The day after the thunderstorm, Cheng Chumo caught a cold as expected, but he was in good health. After taking medicine and sleeping for a day, he felt energetic again.
It's just that he coughs from time to time, and there's nothing he can do about it. Who makes him sleep on the floor on a rainy day?
Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Wei Zheng obtained the highest power in the court.
The DPRK carried out a major reorganization, preparing for Li Shimin to flex his muscles.
Gao Shilian is in a good mood recently. He just said goodbye to a group of his disciples.
A piece of news from Zhongshu Province caught Gao Shilian off guard.
The DPRK sent many officials to various state capitals.
Most of these officials are his disciples.
Gao Shilian returned to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and asked several times before he found out that Changsun Wuji had done this.
Unable to sit down, Gao Shilian didn't know whether to laugh or be angry.
I never thought that it was my nephew who did this.
A few days later, Gao Shilian found Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji sat in the courtyard of his home, looked at the memorial in his hand and said calmly, "Uncle, this is the resolution of everyone in Zhongshu Province."
Gao Shilian, whose beard and hair were all white, looked at Changsun Wuji and was trembling with anger, "Has this matter gone through the official department?"
"Uncle, my nephew has said these things and made everyone's decision in writing. I have made my uncle worry about it. Please come back."
Gao Shilian froze on the spot, Changsun Wuji's words were full of indifference.
I was speechless for a moment. The nephew who had always respected his uncle was now in control and could now take advantage of himself.
Gao Shilian had a feeling that Changsun Wuji would also be a highly respected person in the future.
Moreover, Changsun Wuji is now in the prime of life just like His Majesty.
old……
This was Gao Shilian's first feeling.
"Those officials were all brought up by me."
The courtyard was quiet for a long time. Changsun Wuji put down the memorial in his hand and said, "Uncle, you have always had the power to appoint, remove and dispatch officials. You have done a lot for the Tang Dynasty. This is enough."
Gao Shilian looked at him motionless, "Do you want me to retire now?"
Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "From now on, you will still be the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. You have been working hard for the country and the country for these years. In the future, the appointment of officials will be left to the imperial examination system and will be decided by the three provinces."
There was no point in asking any more questions. Gao Shilian waved his sleeves and walked out of Zhao Guogong's mansion.
At home, Zhang Yang and Li Tai were drinking herbal tea, which was made from licorice, mint, and chrysanthemum.
Being dealt with by one's own nephew is more uncomfortable than being dealt with by other people.
Listening to Li Tai's story, Zhang Yang wondered: "Gao Shilian was plotted by Zhao Guogong behind his back?"
Li Tai whispered, "In the beginning, it was Zhao Guogong, Wei Zheng, and Cen Wenwen who recommended Fang Xuanling to be in charge of Zhongshu Province and to make Fang Xuanling the prime minister. My father did not agree immediately."
"Afterwards, my father decided to change the order of the Secretary of the Central Committee, and the Minister of Public Affairs and Minister Zuocheng would come together to discuss matters. In a certain sense, all three of them have the ability to be prime ministers, and the court can also discuss the affairs together."
"And my father can also use this decision to avoid relatives."
Zhang Yang doesn't care much about these things. In Zhang Gongjin's words, the less valuable you say, the safer it is.
Li Tai took another sip of herbal tea and said, "This herbal tea is good. I think it is another business."
Is this little fat guy really addicted to business?
Zhang Yang put down the tea bowl in his hand, "Ju Wentai's envoy will arrive in Chang'an soon, right?"
Li Tai thought about it, "It should still take some days."
"Gaochang is a good place. It would be a pity if this place was not in the hands of Datang."
"I have also read in some classics that Gaochang has always been a strategic point in the Western Regions and has been a battleground since the Han Dynasty."
Gaochang not only has very important strategic significance to the Central Plains, but also has certain economic significance.
Zhang Yang thought, "The Gaochang area is rich in grapes."
Li Tai held herbal tea in his hands and said, "There are also jujubes."
Zhang Yang sighed, "Actually, there is something called cotton in Tianzhu. During the Han Dynasty, it was spread to the Western Turks through Tianzhu, the trade route of the Western Regions, to Persia. It should still be in that area. I don't know if Ju Wentai, the king of Gaochang, is interested in helping us pick it.
cotton."
Li Tai asked doubtfully, "Cotton? Is this good?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said nothing more.
Li Taifan put down the tea bowl in his hand, "I will go back and check the classics to see if there is any record of things like cotton. Brother-in-law, I will take my leave now."
Large-scale cotton cultivation in the Central Plains began in the Song Dynasty.
Most of the clothes worn nowadays are really made of gebu, linen and silk.
Li Yue walked out of the house with two pieces of clothes she had just made, "Husband, this short-sleeved outfit looks weird."
Putting on short sleeves, Zhang Yang tried on the length and said, "Why don't you make yourself a short sleeve one too."
My wife is still wearing a dress, but it is a little thinner.
Li Yue blushed and said, "How can any girl wear such clothes with a large amount of her arms exposed?"
From the wife's point of view, there is no big difference between this and the underwear worn by girls.
After thinking for a while, Li Yue added: "I can wear this at home at night."
She also served herself a bowl of herbal tea. She took a sip and breathed out a sigh of relief, especially the cool feeling of the mint.
After Lu Zhaolin finalizes the prices and topics, the medical clinic will be ready to open.
During this period of time, Zhang Yang put aside his affairs at court, and it seemed as if life had returned to the past.
Li Yue also made herself a pair of short-sleeved shirts and shorts, and also made a pair of slippers like her husband.
Her white and tender arms and calves were exposed.
Li Yue looked at her husband and then at herself, "It's indeed much cooler."
I only dare to wear it at home and show it to my husband.
She didn't think she would dress like this in broad daylight.
At first she would still hold her arms to avoid her husband's eyes, but after a while she got used to it.
Lying on the table with her limbs stretched out, Li Yue stretched lazily.
After lying on the table for a short while, she realized that she had nothing to do. Li Yue sat cross-legged behind her husband, pressed his shoulders, and looked at the book in her husband's hand, "Gaochang?"
Zhang Yang felt the force pressing his shoulders, "Well, this is a scroll brought from the Ministry of Rites. It contains some records about the Western Regions, especially records about grapes and cotton."
"Husband, you don't really want to attack Gaochang for grapes, do you?"
Feeling Li Yue pressing his shoulders a little harder, Zhang Yang whispered, "Do you think your husband, I am joking?"
The feeling in my heart is a bit complicated, and I am afraid that my husband will cause trouble.
"Let me massage your shoulders too."
"Okay." Li Yue nodded and crossed her legs.
On Zhang Yang and Li Yue's shoulders, her body temperature was not so high, and her skin was a little cold.
Moreover, the frame is very small and the skin is so delicate that you can squeeze water out of it.
Li Yue closed her eyes and enjoyed it, "Husband, haven't we seen the teacher for a long time?"
"It's true that some time has not passed, and I don't know how well his old man is studying chess."
Li Yue smiled and said, "I think the teacher can beat my husband this time."
"Maybe, I also think the teacher's chess skills are getting better and better."
When she got up the next day, Li Yue found that sleeping in short-sleeved shirts was particularly comfortable. She didn't know if it was because her husband pressed her shoulders last night, but she slept very soundly last night, and her shoulders and neck were also much more comfortable.
After putting on her coat, Li Yue walked out of the room and saw her husband still having trouble with Huang Dou.
I heard that my husband is going to make something called tofu. Fortunately, I have a lot of beans at home.
When Li Yue came to the kitchen, there was indeed stewed meat porridge and steamed salted duck eggs in the pot.
Take a hot salted duck egg and a bowl of hot vegetable porridge.
The air in the morning is very fresh, and it is still a little cool when the wind blows. This is the best time of the day. By noon, Chang'an City will start to get sultry again.
Skillfully cracking open the round end of the salted duck egg, Kuaizi poked in the salted duck egg, and immediately oil and water came out.
Dig the egg white and yolk into the porridge, and a salted duck egg in a bowl of porridge is a very good breakfast for Li Yue.
There was an empty bowl next to the little bear, and there was still a lot of porridge around its mouth. It was trying hard to lick the porridge clean, and it looked like it was full.
Li Yue looked at her husband who was struggling to wrap the bean dregs in a piece of cloth and squeeze out the bean juice.
Li Yue took another sip of porridge and looked at it curiously.
Zhang Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead and let the bean juice sit aside. It was not easy to eat it in one bite.
"Husband, is the tofu delicious?"
"It's delicious, and there are many ways to make tofu." Zhang Yang also served himself a bowl of porridge and said while eating.
The most important thing is the brine. The reason why tofu has failed several times is probably the brine.
The couple sat down and planned to play chess for a while to kill the morning time. In the morning, they would go see the teacher and deliver the family's meals in time for the meal.
It's been a long time since we last agreed not to play chess.
Li Yue is no longer so obsessed with chess. Instead, she likes to study mechanics. Recently, she studied that if two iron balls have the same weight, hang them on a rope and hit one iron ball against the other.
When the masses are the same and the gravity is the same, the two iron balls will continue to collide.
After playing a game of chess, Li Yue said discouraged, "We still lost."
Zhang Yang arranged the chessboard, "You master mathematics very quickly, but you are worse than ordinary people at this kind of game."
Li Yue whispered, "My husband thinks I'm stupid, I know."
"Actually, it's not stupid, it's just that everyone has their own strengths."
After tidying up the yard and leaving the little bear in the care of Aunt Wang, Zhang Yang cooked some food and put it in a food box. He carried the food box and asked Aunt Yang to escort him, and the couple walked out of the house.
The teacher's home is on the other side of Zhuque Street.
Before noon, the sun began to get hot, but Li Yue held a small umbrella but didn't feel much hot.
Walking through the other side of Zhuque Street, there are several shops on the current Zhuque Street that smell some fragrance.
This is the smell of soap. Now is the time when the flowers are in bloom. There are many kinds of soap scents.
The cake business is no longer so popular, but the soap business is booming again. In this hot summer, bathing has become a necessity for people, and soap has naturally become a necessity.
The better the soap business is, the more money the family will make, and the couple is happy to see the success.
Walking through Zhuque Street, the two of them arrived in front of a house.
The courtyard door was still closed, so Zhang Yang knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door was Zhang Gongjin's youngest son, Zhang Da'an.
Zhang Daan was a little surprised when he saw Zhang Yang, and then saluted, "I have met Mr. Zhang, and I have met Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"No need to be polite. Is the teacher at home? I brought some home-cooked food."
"Father is at home."
The couple followed Zhang Da'an into the courtyard and saw Zhang Gongjin playing chess. He was playing chess with himself like a left hand playing a right hand. He would sit in front of the red side's chessboard and then sit in front of the black side's chessboard.
Seeing Zhang Yang coming, Zhang Gongjin hurriedly waved and said, "You're just in time. I'm bored playing chess by myself, so come and accompany me."
"Have you eaten, teacher?" Zhang Yang asked, holding the food box.
"I happen to be hungry." Zhang Gongjin stroked his beard and said with a smile.
Li Yue went to see his wife again. She and her wife had been getting along very well.
Zhang Yang brought out bowls of prepared food and said, "Brother Da'an, let's eat some together."
Zhang Daan looked at the dishes and then at his father's expression.
Zhang Gongjin took the bowl and quickly picked up a piece of duck meat. While eating, he said, "Shilang Zhang told you to eat together, so why are you standing here?"
"Hey." Zhang Daan sat down in response.
The teacher is still the same as before. This Zhang Daan is a bit cowardly. The teacher always despises his own son and treats them equally. He despises all three sons.
